Strength Evaluation
Which of the following two counters is stronger?

nlite relies on user feedback to rank submitted counters. Please compare the strength of the two counters below, ignoring all others.

The platform identifies the top counters to each argument independently of other arguments. This implies that the competition occurs among counters challenging the same argument.

Counter A

When the US places sanctions on countries, it’s not because they are refusing to cooperate with the world, it’s because they are refusing to cooperate with America or the West. Why does the world have to listen to what the US wants, even if it comes at the expense of other countries? Who will hold the US accountable when it breaks the laws the UN has set in place?

Counter B

Despite Israel's clear violations of international humanitarian and war laws [1, 2], Iran’s official position on the Israel-Palestine conflict—which has been submitted to the United Nations—advocates for a democratic resolution, not a military one. Iran has proposed an inclusive election process in which all stakeholders, including refugees, can participate.

While Iran has never declared any intention to launch an unprovoked military strike against Israel, Israel has frequently engaged in acts of aggression, including the assassination of Iranian scientists and officials.

It's also worth noting that Iran voluntarily limited its uranium enrichment activities under the JCPOA to promote peace. In contrast, Israel has never accepted the NPT in the first place.

Regarding support for proxy groups:

  1. In 2017, Hamas issued a new charter endorsing the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders—a notable departure from its previous position. However, Israel dismissed this potential opening for peace, determined to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state at all costs.
  2. Given Israel’s flagrant violations of international law, much of the Palestinian resistance can be seen as justified and deserving of widespread international recognition and support.
